After concluding the same thing, I scrolled through the whole thing out of a sick sense of curiosity just to see how long it ended up being. IIt must have taken me 30 seconds just to use my touchpad to scroll to the bottom (including the pages of footnotes). These people are beyond parody.

The rsync slop-code scandal (mentioned here earlier) has now blown up in rsync’s github issues tab. And of course on the orange site.

Why doesn’t she just ring up Peter Thiel. She seems like just the type of person he’d love to donate some Thiel bucks to.

EDIT: I just went to her linked GitHub sponsors page. I was surprised to find Simon Willison there, but maybe I shouldn’t have been. It certainly gave me another reason to look sideways at him.

If you want to witness a bunch of emotionally stunted clanker fondlers totally missing the point, check out the comments on this orange site thread.

They’ve been using the excuse that not everyone who participated in the “AI 2027” project agreed on 2027 as the year it all happens. But if that’s the case, why the hell did they call it “AI 2027”?

Gotta love the ex post facto of it all.

The person being quoted is “AnechoicMedia”. More here.

And not a single question about the Claude Code source leak, which revealed how it’s completely slapped together with string and bubble gum.

Her account is just another reminder that – apart from race science – nothing goes better together with rationalism than social cluelessness.

Clown v. Clown. This is about the level of discourse Yud deserves.

What about the git commit messages for the Microsoft PM who vibe-coded all these changes. Were they also accompanied by a “Co-Authored by GitHub” message? Because that’d be hilarious if they weren’t.

McKenzie has got to be one of the worst writers I’ve ever come across.

<thousands of words of blather>

We will return to the other reason in a moment.

<thousands of words of blather>

We return from this flight of fancy to the indictment.

<thousands of words of blather>

Why? We’ll return to it in a minute.

I didn’t make it to the end, because I’m not going to waste that much time reading tens of thousands of words of fascist-supporting bullshit.

You and me both. The deluge of shitty AI slop code is never-ending. Unfortunately, software companies are going to have to start going under before anything gets done about it.

You thought software quality was poor before LLMs? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Typical mentality on the orange site:

I don’t think I’ve read a single line of code I’ve shipped in over 6 months.

The back-and-forth between Gwen and LessWrong commenters is getting spicy. This definitely deserves a top-level post on SneerClub.

Habryka’s all, “Dammit, why do you have to come here and remind everyone where the Zizians came from?”

EDIT: This person also seems to have no concept of the finality of death, which might explain why the Zizians were so murdery.

Epistemic status: All of the western canon must eventually be re-invented in a LessWrong post. So today we are re-inventing federalism.

Is this self-parody?
